Move 29 you lose your Queen, but white didn't see it.
Where did I go wrong?
Sort:
How? Sorry I don't see it.
Sorry, was moving the arrows too fast.
Oh now I see it, no he couldn't because when I moved nh3 he was in check, so no eating for him =).
Oh, ok.
Just some opening advice. To analyse the whole game just take to much time.
7...Na5 is weak because of a lake of development. First castle because the bisshop is no threat. So 7.O-O and after this you can think of 8.a6 to play and 9.b5. Problem is your bisshop on c8 I think. He as not too many fields. so after 7.O-O 8. d6 is quit well to develop your bisshop and his knight isn't going to field e5.
Well played, I must say, especially for someone of your rating and age :)
Apart from what the other people have mentioned here I was a bit dubious about 48. ... Ke6? This undoubtedly loses your e-pawn. Better would have been g5. See how that prevents the white king from approaching any of the sqaures in your proximity on the 4th rank. This is a good rule for endgames with many pawns, lock up as many squares for the other player and slowly advance ALL pawns. There's also nothing wrong with advancing one pawn on one side of the board if it gives you a huge positional advantage on the other side which may allow you to queen a pawn eventually. Just some hints :) Good luck with your chess career
No, I would say that the position was drawn when you entered the endgame. Notice that you do not have any material advantage and no advanced pawns.
But of course would I objectively say that you had the edge as you cannot mate with a bishop only.

Well, I was a lower rating. So I was hoping to get like a one pawn advantage in the end and push it to a win, so I was trying to trade off all of my pieces.

Yeah, I didn't see that. Thanks for the advice =).
FHansen, I didn't see it that way. I saw that if I took his pawn I would have nothing to worry about, and hoped to end up with 2 pass-pawns to push.
Move 14 i would have played d6 not h5 that move to me did nothing usefull. Your 16th move not needed better is Nc7 looking to advance your d pawn and open up the diagonal for your dark bishop. move 17 better is Rb8 or d6 to me anyway. move 20 i would have played either d5 or Na6 looking for the out post at b4. move 23 you should have left the pawn alone and let him take, i would have looked at d6 or Qe7 myself. move 24 wasnt good for u better to have played Nc5 a word to the wise dont trade your fianchetto bishop unless u absolutly have too for your advantage which this clearly isnt, because it leaves big holes in your defence especially where the king is, even more so when the position is somewhat opened already like yours. your 28th Ne4 looked better or an interesting idea Qg5 then if 29. Rxf2...Rxf2 30.Kxf2..Rf8+ 31.Kg1...Qe3+ 32.Kh1...Rf2 threatening Qg3 next move. Move 29 Nxh3+?! i didnt like i thought it better to break pin with Qd4 i think anyway. as far as thatmove 48.. Ke6?! that was doubious too but i looked at better ideas and all ended in draw anyway if it makes u feel any better.. well thats about it for now your endgame was a draw i looked and couldnt find a break through with the pawns u had. well played over all though mate keep up the good work....
I don't know if you can win that ending, but you can make the defense for white much more difficult.
After 48. Kf3 you retreat your king allowing white to place the king on e4. This severely limits your possibilities. Better would have been:
48. ... g5 threatening to create a passed pawn by playing ... h4. If:
i) 49. Be1 preventing h4, then simply 49. ... Kd4 threatening to push your c-pawn shows the bishop is over taxed.
ii) 49. Bd2 e4+ can cause some problems for white since 50. Ke2 loses to 50. ... h4 51. gxh4 gxh4 52. Be1 h3 53. Bg3 c3 when the bishop can't help on both sides of the board. White might be able to hold on with 50. Kf2
iii) 49. Kg2 allows 49. ... Ke4
Later in the game you could try:
56. ... Kg2 57. Be5 h2 58. Bxh2 Kxh2 where white can still draw, but you have set a trap because 59. Ke3 loses. White draws by 59. Ke2 (or e1) Kg2 (another trap, hoping for Ke3) 60. Ke1 Kg3 61. Kf1 Kxg4 62. Kg2 white's king must land on g2 right after black captures on g4 or else black can win.
In this chess game I fully expected a win when it came to the endgame, because I had alot of pawns. My rating is only 1266 so I am wondering if there was any way for me to queen one of my pawns. Note : I am only 12 so if you see errors in my game, please mention it I'm always prepared to learn something new
. I play black.
